In July, Dawson Hudgins joined outstanding elementary school students from across the nation in a unique academic development experience, the National Youth Leadership Forum (NYLF): Pathways to STEM. The program was held at the University of Houston.

NYLF Pathways to STEM is one of the Envision family of programs (www.envisionexperience.com) that enable students to explore their interests and experience learning beyond the classroom. Program goals include developing presentation skills, analyze leadership concepts and how to apply them to real life situations, and develop problem-solving skills.
